Warren Report 2.26.15
From Jonathan Stone, Film School Faculty/Head of Digital Production. "I'm grateful to the CMPA leadership for their support and for allowing me the opportunity to slip back in to the producing fray of Hollywood (Burbank to be exact). Though short term, I will be serving as the producer and heading up the LA team for 8i Inc, a New Zealand based start up Virtual Reality Technology Company. 8i is seriously on the cutting edge and leading the charge for new and innovative technology that may help define this old, yet new frontier! They are driven by amazing technical wizards, scientists, and artists from some of the top companies in the world, and I'm proud to be part their team, if even for a short time. I am also proud to report that we are located for a few months on the sound stage of SoapBox Films, a production company founded by former FSU CMPA Alum. Go Noles! From Lauren Lear (BFA 99) “I'm a very proud member of "The How To Train Your Dragon 2" editorial team which brought home the Annie Award for Best Editing in a Feature Animation. Not to mention a Golden Globe and Annie for Best Animated Feature as well as an Oscar nomination. Honored and humbled to be amongst a such a talented crew.” From Armando Salas (MFA 02) “I'm heading to Austin in a couple days to start work on season 2 of the Robert Rodriguez series From Dusk Till Dawn. It’s a fast paced schedule with a ton of location work so I’ll be splitting the episode count with another cinematographer. The show airs on El Rey Network and is available on iTunes. If there are any FSU Alumni in the Austin area, drop me a line.” From Zac Sieffert (MFA 02) “Focus, the new Will Smith feature, comes out this Friday, and I was the B-Cam 1st AC for the show. Just saw a screening of the movie here in Santa Fe (where I'm working with the same directors and cinematographer on a Tina Fey Afghanistan war comedy (as A-cam 1st AC this time)), and Focus looks great. Drop by your local cineplex and enjoy a fun flick.” From Craig Kief (BFA 99) “have a film premiering opening night at SXSW that I shot last year for HBO. In this comedy called 7 Days In Hell, Andy Samberg plays an Agassi like tennis pro who plays his arch rival Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones) in the longest game of tennis ever played. An airdate on HBO hasn't been set yet. I've been shooting 2nd unit for the new CBS show CSI: Cyber. It premieres March 4th, and stars newly Oscar winning Patricia Arquette, who leads a team of FBI agents investigating cyber crime. The March issue of ICG Magazine will have an article about my work in visual effects driven commercials. A couple of the stories I share are from FSU Alum sets - a Muppets shoot with Soapbox Films, and Greg Jardin's (MFA 05) short film Floating. Off to New York today for a few days on season 2 of the CNN doc TV show I've been shooting - this go around it's The Seventies. Armando Salas (MFA 02) has been co-DP with me on it.” From Liz Rizzo (MFA 02) “Hey, New York City peeps! My most recent film short, "Zero Sight: Bad Call" is playing the Iron Mule Short Comedy series at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Symphony Space this Sunday March 1st at 7:30pm. It's going to be a ton of fun, and I'd love to see you! Tickets are available here: http://www.symphonyspace.org/event/8664/Film/iron-mule-march-1st-2015” From Sarah Beth Shapiro (MFA 06) “I edited a film called FAULTS which is having a limited theatrical release with same day Video on Demand March 6. It stars Leland Orser and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as a downtrodden cult deprogrammer and his formidable deprogramee. It premiered at SXSW and played at AFI Fest. My favorite description from an Indiewire review— “Imagine ‘Martha Marcy May Marlene’ by way of the Coen brothers… a truly original dark comedy bound to provoke conversations that last." If you like that kind of flick please check it out in theaters, VOD, or iTunes! I’ll be seeing it opening night March 6 at the Los Feliz 3 and anyone who shows up I’ll buy you a drink after! Sat March 8 & Sun March 9 there will be a Q&A after the film with the director and two leads and I'll be at one or both of those as well. Other cities where it’ll play in theaters: NYC, Seattle, SF, Houston, Austin, Columbus, OH, Winchester, VA, Minneapolis, Tulsa, Kansas City. Check out the trailer:https://thedissolve.com/news/4703-the-trailer-for-sxsw-favorite-faults-will-get-insi/ I just finished cutting another feature and I'd love to cut some more! You can reach me at sarahbetheditor@hotmail.com From Nathan Alexander (BFA 99) “I'm in my 5th year here at Hulu, where I'm a Senior Video Producer on the video production team. We're an in-house creative agency focusing on all Hulu video marketing creative: tv spots, trailers, on-channel promos, ancillary content, EPKs and more - Any video that supports Hulu's content and the business, we produce.” Congratulations to Amy Vincent, (Film School cinematography instructor) who was listed in Indiewire as one of 8 female cinematographers you should know about! From David Spence (MFA 10) “The new 310 House play, Recreational Living, written by David Spence and directed by Mark Medoff opens Friday, March 6 at the Las Cruces Community Theatre! Get your tickets at lcctnm.org! It is an expanded full-length version of a play that was performed at FSU with the same title, Recreational Living. It was part of the New Horizons plays that we did. Mark Medoff requested submissions of plays from his former students as a sort of contest because he wanted to direct a new play. He chose mine and we've been working on it since November. It's exciting to work on a new play. It's particularly exciting to work with Mark. He is my old mentor for both playwriting and screenwriting. He has history with the program at Florida State. He also won a Tony for Children of a Lesser God. There is a palpable level of excitement and intensity with the cast and crew when we get to work with such an accomplished and great person. It is really fulfilling to see work I did at Florida State evolve and live on.” From Julianna Baggett (Film School faculty member) “Here's an interview with Joanna Quraishi -- an up and coming alum, comedy writer. Scroll down and the first paragraph is a great shout-out to FSU -- sure, she went through the creative writing program, BUT I've connected her with the Film School now, roping her in. We've stayed in close contact. She attended the Film Forum event last spring, met with our screenwriters when we were out there (whom she's helped take under a wing), and she's very a very proud FSU alum. http://www.careercontessa.com/Joanna-Quraishi-TV-Writer/” NOTE: be sure to read the entire interview which appears below the picture. Are you in or near Miami? “Miami International Film Festival has an outstanding film playing at this year's festival called SPRING — it was co-directed by an FSU film school alum, Aaron Moorhead (BFA 08). He and his co-director make creative horror flicks and this latest is a vampire "horror romance" about a young American abroad in Italy; it's been called "the best genre movie you haven't seen yet." (You can learn more about SPRING here.) The film is playing Saturday, March 7th at the Regal South Beach, and the directors will be in attendance. Tickets are $13 and the Miami International Film Festival is offering a special FSU alumni discount of $2 off to help spread the word about the film through the FSU network in Miami! It's a great Saturday night / date night .” From Christy Fiers (BFA 97) “I’m moving to GEORGIA and need sell some furniture. (1) green velvet overstuft down couch with surprisingly comfy hide-a-bed- $250 obo (2) Pub Table and 2 chairs-$200 (3) Rubbermaid Storage shed $450 obo. I’m also hosting a garage sale at 3809 Crest Dr in Manhattan Beach on Sunday if you need any other bits.
